[Mexgal]

I moved to Mexico a year ago and gained 20 lbs eating all the goodies down here. I had a big building project going on at our casa, along with moving my mother and father-in-law here as well. one of my goals once i got everyone settled was to really take time now for me and learning all i could about diet and health. i was introduced to a woman down here two weeks ago who is promoting raw foods and has a little resturant. so, i took this as a sign to get my act together. i have been eating only the meals she makes for me which is all raw. the meals have been very good and my cravings for sugar, etc are gone. three days ago i started feeling really bad...like the worst flu i have ever had..sore throat, headache, slight fever. i feel like a truck has run over me. my husband took me to a local doctor here and i told him all about my new health and diet and asked him if this could be detox. he told me that he really didn't believe with what i was eating that i could be so sick just from detox. by the way, he is a vegitarian and supportive of my diet and new search for good health. he then examined me and thought that i had thyfoid fever which he says is more common down here than one would believe. so i went off for blood work and am waiting results. but he recommended that i go on Cipro right away which i have done. i have also gone on line to search about "healing crisis" and such to try and figure out what is wrong with me. i usually have so much energy and exercise even when during my "chunky" days. this is the 3rd day that i feel so sick and can bearly get off the couch. has anyone else out there gone through a severe detox? would appreciate all and any insights.
